Very nice should be fast and fun nice to see another 45 twin. Would be great to see a video? Props are a little big for break in but will be real fast later. I’m surprised Mark didn’t start 2217s then 2219s Good luck Charlie

I broken in my 45 twin with 2317s then ran 2319s and 2321s. You should have no problem Ken proceed

Where did those pipe supports come from? I could use one.

Twin 45's are awesome, This 45 won F hydro up at the 2013 Indy Masters...

Should go well with the novas,,,,I have a 45 carbon rigger you once owned that looks like a Roadrunner clone..

Nice looking boat! Should be real fast.

I had a Coyote/OS Max 46 twin way back in 1984...I know Kevin Sheren saw it run.

 

[John Beardslee]

I remember it well Blair. Lots of twins at D2 races back then.

Thanks John

Used 2.4 props from Beardlee's prop service, .....went through the timing course at 80mph+ at Thread Lake with them back then.

Ran 1662's in heat racing.

Boat was real fun to drive....

John, there were a heck of a lot of twins for sure back then....remember the twin called the Black Russian?

Sure do, it was Ron Walkers second geared twin (Bridge style) Beat it a few times with my 46 twins. I think it was all in the props, of course Ron was running good props as well. Fun times and great memories for sure. You and your Dad were a part of that fabric that has made D2 a pinnacle in model boating history.

Thanks John

Hummmmm, where? Wonder whos it was? John built 3 or 4, Dave Turner built 1, Ron Walker built 2. Dont recall any others, maybe Jerry will see this and comment. He was instrumental in helping get the gears to live for John.
